Simple MVC Framework for ASP.net?

Question

Hi,

I need a simple MVC framework, without jQuery extensions, hibernate, loggers, etc..

Only Model-View-Controller functions. Anyone have an idea where I can find one?

Answer 1

http://asp.net/mvc is the only ASP.NET framework I know off. It's very basic out of the box, and it's up to you what you add to it.

It allows you to add to it whatever you need and doesn't force you to use anything except the MVC design pattern and ASP.NET.

It's very simple in that all you really need to worry about is Models, Views and Controllers.

Answer 2

Does the official ASP.Net MVC framework not meet your needs? It doesn't come with loggers, ORM's or anything like that. And it is extremely flexible and extensible.

Yes, by default it includes jQuery libraries in any new projects you start... but those are simple to remove, and are not part of the framework itself. There is no reliance on them.

Answer 3

If you don't need jquery, then simply delete it from your ASP.NET MVC project.

Two alternative MVC frameworks would be: Vici.MVC, FubuMVC

Answer 4

Other MVC frameworks that haven't been mentioned here:

• MonoRail (2.0 was released today)
• Bistro (great F# support)

Answer 5

Go with ASP.NET MVC. That's about as simple as it comes. If that's too complex, I'd suggest regular webforms or MVC on a different platform (like CakePHP)

Answer 6

I second on the Vici MVC framework! Open source, easy to setup, easy to learn, lightweight, powerfull and with a good support channel through a StackExchange-based webpage.

The Vici Project comes with a lot more libraries (e.g. Vici CoolStorage = ORM) which work beautifully together.
